Pattern mix + material mix + color mix: more variety in crafting

Dear users, dear authors,
do you enjoy crafting patterns with pattern mixes, material mixes and color mixes? There are some really exciting designs among them.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, information, etc. All patterns promoted here must not have been presented in the forum in the past 3 weeks, must have at least 10 sales and a minimum conversion rate of 3%. 

When it comes to doll clothes, I like to use different materials:


For this princess dress for small dolls, fabric is combined with crocheted elements. The outer dress is crocheted. I used glitter yarn for it and crocheted around the hems with fur yarn or sponge yarn. The underskirt made from glittery fabric is then simply sewn to the waist from the inside. You don’t need any special sewing skills for this, because the underskirt is just a rectangle that is gathered at the top. If you use foil jersey, you don’t need to hem the fabric either.

This striped dress also combines different materials: The dress itself is crocheted from two types of cotton yarn (white and purple on the left, burgundy and burgundy with glitter on the right). The hem is edged with plush yarn. With a pointed cap and a “fur” cape, the whole thing becomes a Christmas costume for the little doll.

You can download the crochet pattern for the striped dress with a fur hem here!






For the beach chair, which you can make in different sizes, you need a cardboard box that is crocheted around. The size of the finished beach chair then depends on the size of the box. You can attach a small beach chair to a door wreath together with other decorative elements; a larger one can be used for little dolls to relax in.

I crocheted many different leftover yarns into this shawl. It is crocheted from top to bottom, and with each row the shawl gets wider—so you can choose your own size. 

In total, I used 404 grams for this shawl. Mohair, angora, blended yarn, and merino—any yarn for the cold season; of course, some full skeins were included too. 

The pattern repeat spans 2 rows, and it is explained in writing in the pattern; I have also included a crochet chart.

If you’ve already done most of your Christmas preparations and have a little time left for your hobby, you can enjoy making this Advent star.



It is made from photo cardstock and organza (the cutouts are backed with organza) and has a diameter of approx. 28 cm. The star is easy to make, but requires a little patience and careful work.
